Visiting care and home care in Braintree

With quintessential villages set against a backdrop of the beautiful rolling hills of Essex, Braintree is an absolute delight for visitors and natives alike. And for those that need extra support within their own home, there is even a branch of dedicated Helping Hands carers.

We are strictly monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), who ensure that our services are safe, responsive and effective, and that ultimately we do what we say we are going to do. Additionally, we are affiliated with the Dementia Action Alliance (DAA) and the Spinal Injury Association (SIA), who promote best practice and research in their respective conditions, something that we are strong advocates of.

Our Braintree team provides home care from just 30 minutes per week to full-time live-in care. Whether you require a companion to stop by for an hourly visit and help out with difficult tasks, or a nurse to support you with clinical assistance and medical expertise, there is a Helping Hands carer in Braintree equipped to cater to your priorities and enable a safe and fulfilling lifestyle at home for your loved one.

    Home care in Braintree

    For over 30 years, we have been leaders in the home care industry and know what it takes to provide high-quality, person-centred care. We’ll get to know exactly what you require to feel comfortable and safe at home, so that you and your family can rest assured that everything is taken care of.

    As our carers are trained by our in-house experts, we are able to support a wide range of care needs and conditions – from Parkinson’s, motor neurone disease, cancer, mental health conditions, dementia and many others. And it’s not just senior adults that we care for; we support individuals from the age of 18 all the way up to 100 and beyond. So, if you need support getting to and from university, work or your local day centre, we can help.

    Our visiting care packages start from as little as 30 minutes per week and can be as often as several calls throughout the day – we’ll be flexible around you and there when you need us. Whether you need a little extra help getting up and dressed in the morning, support with preparing your meals or if you’d like someone to take you to Braintree Village for an extra special shopping treat, we can provide assistance with anything from personal care to shopping, cooking to companionship.

    24/7 live in care

    For more intensive care needs, live-in care in Braintree offers one-to-one assistance that it completely tailored around you and your preferences. Whether you have limited mobility that requires support with hoists and mobility aids or if you require more complex care such as catheter or stoma management, we’ll create a bespoke care plan that takes all of your physical and mental wellbeing into account and provide you with the peace of mind that all your needs are catered for.

    Having round-the-clock support from your very own live-in carer enables you to relax in the safety and comfort of your own home, safe in the knowledge that there will always be someone on hand should you need them. And because our live-in carers participate in award-winning training at our state-of-the-art training centre in Warwickshire, you can rest assured that there’ll be a carer that is able to support you with your particular needs.

    Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Braintree

    At Helping Hands, we directly employ our carers; making us a better choice than a care agency. We make sure we look after our staff, as they are the driving force of our company. Our amazing carers work hard every day, to provide our customers with the best care possible in their homes. Being a private home care provider means there are no hidden costs or referral fees. So, what you see is what you get.

    Expert dementia care

    Whether you’ve just been diagnosed with dementia or you are living with the latter stages of the condition, we have the skill and understanding to deliver empathetic dementia care and are able to support both you and your loved ones throughout your journey.

    All of our carers receive specific dementia training so that they are able to understand and guide you through the good and bad days – whether that’s creating a Life Story Book to help you to retain your sense of self or if you need assistance with personal care and managing your medication.

    They’ll always be there when you need them and they’ll help you to ‘live well’ with your condition, so that you can enjoy life to the fullest without having to worry about leaving your beloved home and moving into residential care.
